Mark Sherman Associated Press Published 10:13 PM EST Jan 4, 2019 Washington – The Supreme Court is plunging back into the issue of whether electoral districts can be too partisan. Disputes have arisen in cases involving North Carolina’s heavily Republican congressional map and a Democratic congressional district in Maryland, and the justices said Friday they will hear arguments in March. The high court could come out with the first limits on partisan politics in the drawing of electoral districts, but also could ultimately decide that federal judges have no role in trying to police political mapmaking. The court took up the issue of partisan gerrymandering last term in cases from Wisconsin and the same Maryland district, but the justices failed to reach a decision on limiting political line-drawing for political gain. Justice Anthony Kennedy had said he was open to limits. He has since retired, and Justice Brett Kavanaugh has taken Kennedy’s seat. He has no … [Read more...] about High Court to take new look at partisan districts

The Gujarat High Court Wednesday dismissed a PIL seeking a ban on the release of Bollywood film "Kedarnath" and said it was merely a "publicity stunt" by the petitioner. The film, which stars Sushant Singh Rajput and Sara Ali Khan , is set to release on December 7. A division bench of Acting Chief Justice A S Dave and Justice Biren Vaishnav dismissed the PIL that sought a ban on the release of the movie saying that it hurt the "religious sentiments" of Hindus. Prakash Rajput, president of International Hindu Sena, had filed the plea claiming that the movie hurt the sentiments of Hindus as it featured a Muslim boy falling in love with a Hindu girl. In the petition, he alleged the movie also featured kissing scenes at Kedarnath, a revered site, which also hurt the sentiments of Hindus. Coming down heavily on the petitioner, the court said the PIL was nothing but a "publicity stunt". It also imposed a fine of Rs 5,000 on him. Directed by Abhishek Kapoor , the movie shows a … [Read more...] about Gujarat High Court dismisses PIL seeking ban on ‘Kedarnath’

Jonathan Oosting Detroit News Lansing Bureau Published 7:27 p.m. UTC Jul 6, 2018 Lansing — The Michigan Supreme Court on Friday agreed to consider a legal challenge to a potential ballot proposal that would create a citizen committee to redraw political boundaries every 10 years. The high court ordered a July 18 special session to hear oral arguments in the case. The "Voters Not Politicians" initiative seeks to amend the state Constitution to create a 13-member redistricting commission that would draw new political maps every decade, a process currently controlled by whichever political party is in charge in Lansing. The opposition group Citizens Protecting Michigan’s Constitution sued in an attempt to keep the measure off the ballot, arguing the proposal is too broad to be considered an amendment to the state Constitution. Such changes should require a constitutional convention, they argued. The Michigan Court of Appeals rejected the opposition suit … [Read more...] about Michigan High Court to hear arguments over redistricting proposal
